Responsibilities

  • Deliver assigned AV build packages for new offices, expansions, and refreshes using approved designs, room standards, and installation requirements.
  • Coordinate the ITAV workstream for office construction projects from inception through delivery, partnering with Capital Builds, Network Security, and Workplace Design and Construction to align requirements, schedules, dependencies, and handoffs.
  • Review drawings, equipment lists, site conditions, and integrator plans; identify missing prerequisites and raise design exceptions before installation.
  • Coordinate equipment staging, installation sequencing, vendor deliverables, and site access with integrators, Workplace, Capital Builds, and ITAV program partners.
  • Configure conferencing endpoints, Q-SYS controls and audio processing, and AV-over-IP connections to match the approved design.
  • Prepare accurate device and port records and coordinate IP addressing, DNS, DHCP, VLAN, and connectivity requirements with Network Engineering.
  • Commission rooms end to end, testing audio, video, control, conferencing, content sharing, monitoring, and recovery against documented acceptance criteria.
  • Diagnose installation and integration failures, maintain a prioritized punch list, and retest fixes before accepting completed work.
  • Deliver configuration backups, as-built markups, inventory, test evidence, and support instructions; train receiving technicians and secure operational handoff.
  • Identify repeatable deployment work and automate it using AI, agentic workflows, and basic scripting. Maintain reusable checks and templates, validate results, and obtain engineering review for changes to shared standards.

  • Experience configuring and troubleshooting Q-SYS audio and control systems, including signal routing and reusable configuration components.
  • Working knowledge of AV-over-IP technologies such as Q-LAN, Dante, and NDI and the ability to isolate signal, configuration, and transport faults.
  • Practical networking knowledge covering IP addressing, VLANs, DNS, DHCP, and multicast, with sound judgment about when to involve Network Engineering.
  • Experience coordinating integrator work, site prerequisites, equipment readiness, defects, and commissioning milestones within an assigned project.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with Workplace Design and Construction partners to deliver new office construction projects.
  • Ability to verify the complete meeting experience, document technical acceptance, and prepare usable configuration records and support handoffs.
  • Clear communication and demonstrated ability to build, test, and maintain AI and agentic workflows using scripting or configuration tools to automate repeatable deployment work.
